Sound familiar?

A craftsman with beautiful work — and a website that showed none of it. Nothing to be ashamed of: that’s simply how sites grow, page by page, year after year. Until visitors leave before they’ve seen a single photo.

On a phone, everything falls off the screen

No mobile version: the name half cut off, the menu off to the right. While most customers search on their phone.

An idea box… without ideas

Great idea, empty page. His best designs were only shared on Facebook — where they sink out of sight within a day.

Een oude pagina met veelkleurige achtergrond

Languages, colours and styles all mixed up

Dutch and French in the same sentence, rainbow backgrounds, text over photos. The work is strong — the packaging undermined it.

Sounds like your site? Good news: your content is often worth its weight in gold. It just deserves a better stage.

One page. Crystal clear. Pure class.

A first impression that sells

Full-screen images that slowly fade into one another, a headline that says what he does in one sentence, and two clear buttons. Within three seconds every visitor knows: this is the place.

~~Renovation~~→Artisan timber frames

The client wanted to move away from renovation towards handcrafted timber building. The site now tells exactly that story.

From an empty idea box to an inspiration page that brings in requests

We named it Houtdromen (“wood dreams”): a showcase of designs to dream about, in big images and a smooth carousel. Every design has one button: “I want this too” — and the request lands with the craftsman.

His work, finally shown big

We retrieved every photo in the highest quality available, sorted them and cut the noise. Two gallery pages became one elegant wall with filters — click and every photo opens full screen.

Good to know: for BeMen we went beyond a restyle, with a second language, the Houtdromen inspiration page and a custom admin. Extras like these are always possible. Just ask what we can do for your business.

However dated your site is, it can shine
